Becoming an Intentional Evolutionary

Becoming an Intentional Evolutionary

By Paul Lenda

You would be hard-pressed to find someone that does not feel
that there are massive changes happening on our planet, whether they are
environmental, societal, political, or otherwise. The reasons for the
cornucopia of paradigm shifts are many and involve a high degree of
multi-faceted complexity. Now that we are collectively at a crossroads where
our decisions will define our future perhaps more significantly than at any
other time in history, we find ourselves faced with the wonderful opportunity
to transition away from the current modus operandi, and co-create a world where
unity is the underlying basis for society and its actions, not separateness or
division.

As Buddhist teacher Doug Duncan once said, “You cannot have
outer revolution without inner revolution”. The reality of things as we see
them in the world is a reflection of our collective level of consciousness. If
we are to see humanity experience a higher collective quality of life, both
physically and spiritually, there needs to be an internal transformation that
precedes an external transformation.

If you look around you it will be easy to see the
consciousness of desire, greed and pride influencing and guiding many of the
systems that society relies on. All three of these are a reflection of a
mindset rooted in division and separateness as well as an overarching
philosophy of duality within the minds of the powerful and influential elements
of society. Conversely, the ancient Golden Rule, which is a philosophy for life
that permeates almost all major belief systems, is based on the idea of
interconnected unity among all people, and reflects a message of non-duality
that is aligned with the true nature of reality.

Replacing the paradigms of disharmony with those coherent
with our environment and its systems paves the path for positive intentional
evolution. We should not feel powerless in the face of the problems society and
humanity faces today. The keys to our future are in our hands – or our minds,
rather. Transforming the world is not supposed to be the responsibility of a
few enlightened sages. Creating a better world is the responsibility of each
one of us. Together, we can either stand on the sidelines and watch as the
consciousness of greed, pride and desire take us down a dystopian path, or we
can alter the future by together making a shift towards things that increase
peoples’ well-being and promote self-actualization.

Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the University of
Melbourne recently predicted that the world economy will collapse by 2030, a
prediction also made by the Club of Rome back in 1972. Perhaps this will be
helpful for a genuine reboot in how humanity conducts trade, or maybe this can
be avoided if a radically different kind of thought is applied to the
structures that support the mechanics of the present economy at large. What is
certain is that as intentional evolutionaries, we have the power to co-create a
better process-structure that can replace inefficient models that stagnate our
collective growth and tend to increase the level of suffering in our lives.

Siddhartha Gautama once said, “We are what we think. All
that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world”.

By being intentional evolutionaries we harness our mind
power in a way that creates positive and meaningful change for our collective
good; reflecting the power of a collective consciousness with a conviction for
making the world a better place that has more balance and harmony. One person
alone may not have a great effect on the whole but if many of us come together
and focus on co-creating the same result then we will certainly see a
monumental societal shift.

The world is changing… be on the transition team.

“The
happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts, therefore guard accordingly; and take care
that you entertain no notions unsuitable to virtue, and reasonable nature”

about me

A new counter-culture is now spreading across the planet, a movement dedicated to protesting at the outlandish behaviour of the control freaks, with their surveillance, eavesdropping, secrecy and lies. Their greed and belligerent sabre rattling and their industries of war. The dream is to replace these sociopaths with Love!

I wish this blog to be a small part of this - We must be the change.

We will be set to task to rebuild our world and our planet from centuries of decimation and destruction brought on by the fallacy, the belief that we once tragically and collectively embraced thousands of years ago – the mistaken notion that we are separate from one another and everything else on the planet and in the universe. We will finally recognize that the truth is just the opposite – we are all one with everything on the planet and in the universe. We are spiritual beings, infinite consciousness simply having a human experience, and as soon we come to fully recognize and understand this, it will then finally be time for us to fly – to shine in all of our infinite, glorious possibility...
